For details on creating a Calibration Target, see the following.
• Create Calibration Target (Windows) →P.601
• Create Calibration Target (Mac OS X) →P.638
• When executing on a printer without a Spectrophotometer Unit mounted
You can also reduce the variations in printed color tones when using paper other than genuine Canon paper and
feed certified paper by creating a Calibration Target by using this printer with a Spectrophotometer Unit (optional)
mounted and the included MCT.
You can also execute color calibration even if you are using paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certi-
fied paper by registering a Custom Media Information File that contains this Calibration Target using the included
MCT on a printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without a spectrophotometer unit mounted.
Furthermore, it is also possible to execute color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed
certified paper even on remote printers (12-color models) that support calibration link by sending the Custom Me-
dia Information File that contains the Calibration Target by e-mail.
This allows you to operate efficiently and at reduced cost because you can perform calibration operations on the
paper you are using that unify color tones across workplaces.
The following procedure using MCT is needed in order to perform color calibration on paper other than genuine
Canon paper and feed certified paper using a printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without a Spec-
trophotometer Unit mounted.
1
Register the media information using Add Custom Paper.
2
Add the Calibration Target information in Create Calibration Target to the created custom paper.
3
Save as a Custom Media Information File that contains the Calibration Target.
4
Add the Custom Media Information File to a printer (12-color model) that supports calibration link without a
Spectrophotometer Unit mounted.
5
Execute color calibration using the printer or the CCMC color management utility.
For a detailed explanation, see the following.
• Media Configuration Tool (Windows) →P.573
• Media Configuration Tool (Mac OS X) →P.605
Things That Can Be Done Using CCMC
You can execute the following functions by using the CCMC color management utility.
For a detailed explanation, see the following.
• Color Calibration Management Console (Windows) →P.846
• Color Calibration Management Console (Mac OS X) →P.883
• Remotely executing color calibration
You can remotely execute color calibration from a remote location.
• Displaying the Advisability of executing color calibration
Advisability of executing color calibration is displayed as a progress bar. This allows you to manage color effi-
ciently because you can visually check roughly how long until color calibration is executed next.
• Remotely Executing Color Check
You can remotely execute color check from a remote location.
• Managing the color calibration logs of remotely connected printers
The printer calibration logs are displayed in a list, making it possible to grasp the color management status of mul-
tiple remotely connected printers.
